Legends and Bridge

“Foster’s light-hearted script scores some bitchy zingers. Nifty, colorful comedy filled with intrinsic wit and charm!” BACKSTAGE WEST“OUTRAGEOUS! One of the bitchiest cat fights this side of Dynasty. Campy farce exploring the fine art of Hollywood backstabbing! A slap-dash exuberance that held everyone captive ” –LA WEEKLY“A recipe so packed with bitchy spices even the queens in West Hollywood will burn their tongues” Fab Magazine “Wild and whacky! Bawdy, naughty and oh, so bitchy. Hilarious! Screamingly funny!” –TOLUCAN TIMES “Pick of the week! Fun! Fun! Fun!” –VALLEY SCENE “Legends and Bridge” is a comedy imagining former, silver-screen legend Joan Crawford (matronly, washed-up, and pickled on spiked Pepsi) who invites Judy Garland (recently fired from her CBS TV show) and Bette Davis (bitter at no longer being the “Queen of Hollywood”) up to her Manhattan apartment in 1964 to live with her as they work on a “secret” film project. Joan attempts to get a sloppy Judy back into shape by putting her on an exercise regime, which Judy takes to like a cat in a washing machine. At the same time, she tries to butter Bette up with little presents. After much prodding from Bette and Judy, Joan reveals the project she has in mind is a screen adaptation of “St. Joan” with Judy and Bette playing bit characters while she stars as St. Joan “Bette, you’ll play my mother and Judy you’ll play ‘the voices’.” After hearing this denture-shattering news, all hell breaks loose as each legend tries to maintain her position as top diva. Back-biting, catfights and skullduggery ensue. Throw in a young boy toy that Bette brings home and a drunk Tennessee Williams and watch the comedy unfold. Cast Size: 6Running Time: 120 minutes. Royalty: $50.00 per performance. Appropriate for adult audiences.

Paul Gymziak ( Director)

I am extremely proud of this production, especially with the set and creativity that was put into this show. The quality of the cast and crew is outstanding, and I thank each of you. Dramatically Incorrect has worked to transition between stage and screen which has made theater more accessible to all. A big thank you to Stephen Foster for once again bring an original piece of work to Dramatically Incorrect to bring to life. This was one of the most memorable experiences the cast and I have had. When the covid-19 pandemic hit, it was just before Dramatically Incorrect was to perform Twisted: An Untold Story of a Royal Vizier. Everyone was perplexed on how to perform in the future. Dramatically Incorrect is nothing if not persistent and driven to bring arts to the community. Dramatically Incorrect did virtual cabarets, original one-acts, and even rehearsals for future shows. Over time and with testing, a few DITGDC members were able to begin to see each other at the studio with masks, en

Steven is making his Dramatically Incorrect debut. Thank you Mic and Paul for welcoming me. When Steven not working as a hairstylist/barber, his first love, his second loves are singing, and theater. Steven has been involved in many local theater productions, around his hometown of Fitchburg. Singing has always been a part of my life, so from a church choir, brought me to a local theater group that only did musicals. That's when the theater bug bit me. I have been in many choral ensemble, and lead rolls. Favorite Rolls- The tin man in the Wiz, Cliff Bradshaw in Cabaret, Fivios in Zorba, the zigfied tenor in funny girl, just to name a few. Steven has created many wigs for many different actors, as well stage make up. Thanks you for giving me the opportunity to work with this fine group.
